At 2 1/2 hrs its a little too long to sustain my interest. Pro: The cinematography. Con: A horrific account of the Nanking massacre becomes a spectacle in some action sequences.

Still waiting to see that. The most horrific account of the Nanking Massacre I've seen is- Black Sun: The Nanking Massacre

It's hard not to love anything by Pedro Almadovar, always a fantastic story teller. Talk To Her was especially good.

Tyler1 - Have you seen his latest one, The Skin I Live In - excellent film. Not my favourite from the director though.

Nope. In fact the only Almodovar film i've seen was Volver, which was decent. I'm not sure if i should watch Talk To Her, given the lavish amount of praise it garnered.

I'm not sure I get you. You really watch or don't watch movies based on what others say about them?:rolleyes:

Watch Talk to Her. It's really good and would be just based on the X-rated silent movie parody. Of course, I've seen all his features, except the last one. Still...

Recently watched Gattaca.

Great flick.

Gattaca counts as foreign? Oh yeah, you're a Canuck.

Alright. Given that you saw all of his films, whats your favourite Almodovar film?

My Faves:

Talk to Her
Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown
Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down!
Matador
All About My Mother

... but I'd recommend more.

^ Thanks. Talk To Her will be at the top of my "to-watch" list. :)

It's complex but not snooty. The Silent Movie scene is spectacular.

Definitely see All About My Mother - one of his most perfect films and my favourite from the director. The other I recommended above is worth seeing too, one of his most disturbing films.
